DeLOCK PCI Express x16 Card to 5 x internal M.2 Key B / SATA

This PCI Express x16 card by DeLOCK expands a desktop PC by five internal M.2 Key B / SATA slots. It supports M.2 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230 module lengths and allows mixed connection of M.2 SATA SSDs and 2.5" SATA devices using the supplied adapters and cables. The card follows the PCIe 3.0 interface and is suitable for systems that provide a x16 PCI Express slot.

Advantages

The card provides five internal M.2 Key B / SATA connections and includes SATA cables and adapters to connect up to five 2.5" SATA drives. It supports common M.2 module form factors (2280, 2260, 2242, 2230) and can be installed in small-form-factor systems using the supplied low-profile bracket. The PCIe x16 interface ensures compatibility with modern motherboards.

How to use

Power down the PC and insert the card into a free PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard. Secure the card to the chassis and, if required, replace the full-height bracket with the included low-profile bracket for installation in compact cases. Install M.2 SATA modules into the M.2 slots and secure them in the appropriate screw positions for their length (2280, 2260, 2242, 2230). Connect 2.5" SATA drives using the provided adapters and SATA cables, then attach the SATA power connectors from the power supply to each drive. Power on the PC and verify that the BIOS/OS detects the connected M.2 and SATA devices. Install any necessary drivers if required by the operating system (supported: Windows 10, 8.1, 7 as indicated by the manufacturer).

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use compatible M.2 SATA (not NVMe) modules and standard 2.5" SATA drives. Ensure your power supply provides enough power connectors for additional SATA drives and confirm available PCIe lane allocation on the motherboard, as performance can depend on the host system configuration.
